I have neither, but I would rather have money right now, because sex comes with a woman which is a hassle, and money you can just let it sit and be happy, sex is gone one you have it
But ofcourse when you are having alot of sex, not having money doesn't bother you because your brain is high all the time.
Sex can be a consolation or opiate for having no money, but if you have money, then you can carefully plan when to have sex without the annoying strings of a relationship
But given a choice of regular relationship+sex, i would choose no relationship. Between pursuing casual sex and not, I would not put that much energy into it, is it worth the hassle even if it only takes a few hours to get yourself some, I rather do something else then turn on the computer when the biologic urge comes, done in 10mins
Treat sex like food, and you will get your life in better order
A relationship I can't speak for, I suggest you treat it seperately from sex and know the difference otherwise the cat has got you hooked

I can careless about sex. I mean, I need it but not as described in that article.

Do you get laid more than once a month?

Like money, how much you need depends on how much you're already getting. It's easy for the rich man to say money isn't important, or for someone getting laid regularly to say sex isn't that important, because you're having all your needs met.

Am curious - is anyone getting sex less than once a month (who is married / in a committed relationship)?

Does this happen...it just seems like this is very infrequent?

Maybe it does, I don't know. Just seems that the article is coming from a place that maybe not many people are yet at.

Seriously, sex with a woman, unless you are Emperor of China with a back palace of 1000 most beautiful ladies in the country, and you can get it on demand, with no hassles afterward.. is just not worth it. The effects are as devasting as any drug - spend all your time thinking about it, never getting it, wasting time and energy.. think how free and productive you could be if you could slay the dragon!

Sex: opiate of the p****-whipped masses.. leading zombie lives getting their energy and money sucked out of them.. Yearn to be free, gentlemen.

Normally, when it comes to quoting wisdom, Charlie Sheen is NOT near the top of my list, but I think he may have been onto something when he was talking about his interest in "professionals", and he said , "I dont pay them to have sex with me, I pay them to go away when it's over." Somehow when I read grimlocks post (especially the hassles afterward bit), that quote came to mind...

As far as the age old Sex or Money question goes, you can clearly get sex if you have money, but if you are having lots of sex, that does not mean you necessarily have money.

i remember reading "the game" and not envying mystery at all. dude seemed like a train wreck. even when i did cruise the bars/clubs often, there were plenty of times where i thought about picking someone up, and instead just took a mental picture went home and fapped.

Yup!
When i was married...last six months I think we had sex all of twice.
And the year before that we were at once every other week.
And I'm once every day kind of man.

So for me it was hell. i was making good money and getting no respect nor love at home!

I'm glad that I am not there any more.

Same here, my east-coast twin. It's especially bad when you're the only one who ever initiates it- feels like a favor. Not a problem any more- I actually have more than I can handle at the moment, so there's definitely a point of diminishing returns...too much of a good thing.

So says the man whose screen name is the mightiest of the "Dinobot" Transformers. Speak for yourself. I don't spend all my time thinking about it, and I'm pretty damn efficient- very little wasted time, and even less energy and money spent.

Look: life is just chemistry. We're vessels who evolved as practical means for recombining and proliferating our DNA. That means we were born to fcuk. Everything else we do is somehow related to that end, as long as we have normal instincts, and that's why we want it and are happy when we get it.

What's more, I actually LIKE all the stuff that goes along with it- seduction...discovery...intimacy. I don't think I could have sex with a girl I wasn't at least somewhat interested in and felt some kind of mental connection with, no matter how hot she is. I LIKE driving her wild and knowing she's just as into it as me- it's way WAY better. I LIKE her to stay over afterwards, too.

I dunno, both videos are annoying, the first one is on the right track, the 2nd one is kinda ..um .. gay. (i mean the pretext of avoiding women, but not saying outright its because the guy likes men.. so, no wonder)

Loved it better when I was a med student and dating my wife. Now I make over $300k a year, have a big house, fancy stuff, fancy vacations but life is somewhat empty.

I long for the simpler days. Don't get me wrong. I love my little kids. But I do long the days of going back to a small shitty apartment, drunk and having some wild ass sex...

Breast feeding and co-sleeping ruined it.

Another thing. Studies have shown that men who co-sleep with their children have lower testosterone levels. I can vouch for that. I don't feel the same as I used to or it just may be I'm getting older.

I am in the complete opposite situation. But being allowed to do stuff and you won't actually do any of it.
Playing with my cat feels obligatory as there is no one to play with him, i find it a chore already.
When my brother had a baby I didn't self-satisfy in parrellel for a week! But i could feel the sperm building up ... oh.. i don't know how you guys do it all the time. j/k

Just dream or take occasional breaks, no life is perfect.. there is always good and bad in every situation.

Yeah getting older I have no urge to go out and get some, if I were in my earlier twenties I might.. now I would go out and get coffee.
